So many card related projects popping up in the space and this look like another take my money and run. There is no offering from the team that differentiate it from the existing ones, and the list seems to be growing per week

Thank you for your interest in Graft project!
What part of our project description made you think this is "take my money and run" project? Maybe we could clarify and answer your particular questions/concerns. We would like to be as much transparent as we can, and we are open to any ideas and comments that would help improve our transparency.
We have published the comparison with other cryptocurrencies and PayPal, but perhaps you are right, we should add another table comparing Graft to other offerings in the same space. We will publish such a comparison soon - thank you for the idea! Meanwhile, please let us know if you have any specific questions or concerns, we will try to answer each one of them.

Current comparison table:

Are tenx and others crypto cards competitors?

Yes and no. They are competitors just to the single feature of Graft network - spending debit card - which is just one of the ways Graft is going to enter the mainstream payments. We think about both sides of typical payment transaction: buyer and merchant. Tenx only cares about the buyer, which is definitely important. But what about merchants who want to accept both traditional payments (such as credit/debit cards including tenx) and cryptocurrencies? In order to do that, today merchants must maintain multiple point of sale, payment terminals, and wallet apps which is very impractical. Graft point of sale app accepts both cards and crypto, and convert payouts (payments for proceeds from purchases) to local fiat currency if needed. Another important point - Graft CryptoNote-based blockchain is absolutely private: sender address, recipient address, and transaction amount are encrypted on blockchain and therefore hidden from public view. On top of that, Graft also adds encrypted (hidden) transaction fees which are visible to blockchain reviewers in all existing CryptoNote implementations.

What is the amount of graft coin required for Supernode?

Here are additional details regarding the supernodes.

We call it supernode because it performs more functions than “traditional” network node, and there are different requirements for supernode owners. Yes, Graft network is open and decentralized, and anyone will be able to run a supernode, but there are different levels of supernode and different conditions (and rewards) associated with each level.

  • Proxy Supernode is the “entry level” - everyone can install the supernode software and host Relay supernode. The only requirement is public IP, but this can be achieved even with home network. Proxy supernode does not mine or provide services, but it can be useful for several purposes; for example, as a trusted relay for those who have highest privacy requirements, so they can host their own “wallet server”, or for large merchants as a “store server” for even faster transaction processing.
  • Miner Supernode can generate revenue by earning block rewards. The only requirement (in addition to public IP) is higher computing power required for PoW mining. Miner supernode is the last step before the next and highest level.
  • Full Supernode is both miner and service provider. It cannot perform its instant authorization functions or service brokerage (credit card acceptance, for example) without mining. In addition, performing Full functions requires a stake - collateral balance associated with supernode address. Hence combined PoW/PoS. Miner supernode can mine without a stake but it won’t be able to provide services, i.e. it won’t be able to earn transaction and service fees. Note that Graft miner does not receive transaction or service fees, only block rewards. Transaction and service fees are only paid to Full supernode that mines, has a stake, issues instant approvals, and hosts network service brokers.

How Graft Zero-Fee Transaction is Possible, and Why Other Cryptocurrency Networks Cannot Afford Free Funds Transfers?

Many payment systems such as ACH or PayPal allow free transfers between user accounts which create a huge incentive comparing to cryptocurrencies, which charge users unproportional fees regardless the speed and amount of transaction. This feature is perfectly suitable for transactions with low speed requirements, such as funds transfers between family accounts or remittance of employees' salaries. In order to be able to compete with traditional payment networks, Graft provides limited free transfers between user wallets.

Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrency networks usually cannot "afford" free transactions for three major reasons:

  • Lack of incentive for miners
  • Threat of DOS attacks
  • Uncontrolled growth of blockchain

Graft resolves the first problem by logical separation between payment and transfer, so supernodes (miners) receive transaction fees for instant payments which constitute the majority of all transactions, while free transfers are processed “on the background” with lower priority.

The second problem with DOS threat is resolved by voluntary user identification and authentication. Of course, there are no free lunches, so the users should "pay" by providing their identity to the network to ensure the reasonable use (by limiting the number and frequency of free transfers per user) and prevent the network abuse. However, using zero knowledge proof authentication technology will allow users to prove their identity without compromising their privacy.

The last problem with uncontrolled block size growth is resolved by a complex of measures: small block interval, unlimited block size, and standard restricted transaction size for particular transaction types such as free transfer. In addition, one of the sides of the free transfer must prove that they contributed to the network by conducting “commercial” payment transaction types in the past.

Q: Why is GRAFT more expensive than other tokens I've purchased recently?

A: You shouldn't be comparing GRAFT to Ethereum based TOKENS - those are a currency on top of another currency. Similar to Bitcoin, GRAFT's emission (supply) is limited to 18,446,744 coins after every coin is mined. What this means is that we have to make sure that the coin is valued properly at each step of the way, providing reasonable entry price, ICO value, and a healthy upside for appreciation.

It seems over the next couple of months to maybe even a year people will start becoming more open minded about accepting Bitcoin in stores. I have seen lots of online businesses getting involved and think this project could start of the trend of crypto payment services.

So in the twitter campaign i must count the amount of my tweets, retweets and likes and calculate the amount of GRAFT to claim the bounty?

Why making it so difficult?

You don't have to calculate, we made this field optional, we will calculate it for you Smiley

The supernode can initially function as a miner without stake but it won't be able to earn transaction fees or service brokers hosting fees  (only block rewards). The stake is calculated dynamically based on current circulation. It will be growing until the limit (we currently set it to 1000 graft). I cannot tell right now what's going to be the initial stake after the launch as it may change depending on ICO terms.
